Vinnie Pasquantino vs Casey Mize

The Almanac's Take

Pasquantino gets the platoon edge as a lefty against Mize's right hand, but his season line — .228/.317/.661 OPS across 322 PA — doesn't inspire much confidence he'll capitalize. Mize has been quietly excellent: 2.79 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and a 4.32 K/BB through 80.2 innings, and his splitter (nearly 40% usage against Pasquantino in their 13 prior PA) gives right-handers a nasty weapon that works just as well against lefties. The 13-PA history is too thin to weight — three hits, one strikeout, 91.2 mph average exit velo is texture, not signal. This one reads as Mize's matchup to own.
